Review

The Edge- Boston Herald.com, 8/5/10“Baker has compiled a swoon-worthy collection of 75 original dessert recipes that use alcohol plus 25 cocktail recipes.”
Pauline Baughman, Multnomah Cty. Lib., Portland, OR for

Patricia Helding, Founder, Fat Witch Bakery, and author of Fat Witch Brownies
"This gem of a cookbook should be nestled right between your baking canisters and a bottle of your favorite hooch. Don't reach for one without the other."

Rick Rodgers, author of Thanksgiving 101 and many other cookbooks
"Lucy Baker has created a spirited collection of luscious recipes that are likely to make a dedicated teetotaller make an exception when it comes to dessert. Lucy knows what many pastry chefs have known for years--that a splash of booze can make or break a dessert. Cheers!"

Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough, authors of over seventeen cookbooks, including Ham: An Obsession with the Hindquarter
"Finally, someone has solved that age-old riddle: you can indeed have your cake and drink it, too. Lucy Baker’s concoctions are the perfect brew—sweet, spirited, and downright fun. Our only warning: she doesn’t include a recipe for aspirin."

Pichet Ong, author of The Sweet Spot
“Of the many baking cookbooks in my stack, this one definitely takes the cake. The concept is utterly original, filled with irresistible photos, and inspiring recipes that will surely incite the inner child—and adult—among us dessert lovers and bakers alike.”

Great recipes, great results, great fun

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2012

Verified Purchase

Many novelty/themed cookbooks out there fall woefully short of producing delicious and quality food from scratch. Happily, The Boozy Baker does NOT do that. Every recipe is clearly and well-written, so they're easy to follow. There is also a suggestion at the end of most recipes on what alcohols you could substitute if you did not have the one called for in the recipe. The recipes cover a wide variety of baked goods, from cookies and cakes and pies to mousses and profiteroles and bread pudding, so you're not stuck making variations of the same item over and over. In the few months I've owned this cookbook, I've made several recipes (including the plum biercake twice!) and each one has turned out deliciously. I have many cookbooks, but The Boozy Baker is one I continually find myself returning to. My liquor cabinet has definitely grown, which means I can try the drink recipes Lucy Baker includes throughout the book. There isn't a drink corresponding to every single recipe, but there are plenty to choose from. My personal favorite is the blueberry rum smash.

Overall, The Boozy Baker is an excellent cookbook that I'd highly recommend. It's easy to use, has many recipes to choose from, and yields delicious results. And the drink recipes are fun to pair with your baked goods.

Baking with Booze rocks!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2010

The Boozy Baker is a beautifully put together cookbook. The design and food photography are top notch, as are the written anecdotes. Flipping through, I see loads of recipes I can't wait to try. The many recipes in here are nicely balanced between the fruity, chocolaty, cheesy, coffee, and nutty, etc...and include brownies, cookies, cakes, drinks, pies, tarts, and others. Yup, there's a lot of amazing-looking stuff in here, you need to see these pics.

My favorite recipe I've made so far is for the "Black and White Russian Cookies." I also love the drink recipes I've tried, especially the Dirty Girl Scout (yes, just like a Thin Mint...and there is a cookie recipe to go with it, which I hope to make soon). There are also a few recipes that involve beer, which I am a big fan of (I home brew), so I hope to try those out soon using some of my own beers.

Honestly, I don't do much baking, but I do enjoy boozing & eating desserts, so far all the recipes I've made from the Boozy Baker have been spot on (if I keep this up I may actually end up knowing what I'm doing around the oven). I usually stick to grilling and more typical cooking and figured this would be a good way to try something new. This book is definitely a winner, I'm looking forward to trying more recipes from it.

Great Recipes & Inspirations

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2010

When Amazon recommended this title last May, I was immediately intrigued. I have always looked for ways to include liquor in my baking. When my copy arrived, one of the first things that caught my eye was the Champagne Layer Cake. My nephew had recently announced that he and his girlfriend were getting married; the wedding would be held out of state, but they would have a reception here for the friends and family that couldn't attend the wedding. I knew that I would have to bake the Champagne cake for their second reception. It was a hit! One of the guests loved the flavor of the cake so much that she had to seek me out and rave about it. I shared the book title and author's name with her. As it happens, she works at a book store. She ordered a copy for herself, and copies for the store.
I have tried a few more recipes, the Jack Daniel's bread pudding was a delightful surprise, but I have also been inspired to be bolder when experimenting with adding booze to some of my other recipes. For instance, the Strawberry Cupcake recipe that Martha Stewart had on her program- I substituted rum for half of the milk that the recipe calls for. I call them Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes.

Although I'm a great cook, my baking skills leave a lot to be desired. The recipes in The Boozy Baker are clear and easy-to-follow, so that even the worst baker can create a gourmet dessert. I love that the desserts also have recipes for cocktail pairings. If you have a lot of half-drunk bottles of alcohol sitting on your shelf (more than you can drink without your loved ones suggesting AA meetings), this book is great find. And even if you're not a drinker, the recipes introduce a new range of dessert flavors to make it worth a trip to the liquor store.

Adding booze to desset - a great idea!

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I often add a liqueur, rum, bourbon, etc. to cakes and pies. This cookbook offers creative ways to enhance the flavor of desserts. Not a lot of booze, just enough to make it interesting. Raspberry and chocolate for example, goes to a higher level when Framboise or Chambord is added. Hard Cider Apple Pie is another tasty choice. By the way, just as in any recipe, other flavors can be substituted. I used Calvados (apple brandy) in place of hard cider for a delicious treat.

adorable and helpful cookbook

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

Everything about this cookbook is adorable, from Lucy Baker's anecdotes to the scrumptious photos of sweets, which encourage an immediate test-run in the kitchen. She does a great job of explaining how booze can enhance the flavors in baking, making you wonder why you haven't done more of that before. Donut bread pudding with whiskey sauce, plum cake laced with doppelbock beer, DELISH! I also found her "alcohol alphabet" and metric conversion chart super helpful. Definitely a must-buy for both the amateur and the professional baker.

Nice book, terrible packaging.

The book is nice and will be given as a gift, but the packaging was surprising. It came in a flimsy non- cushioned bag, so now the nice new book is going to be received and look like it was bought used. No time to fix it.

I love boozy cakes and looked at several copies before deciding to buy this book. The recipes are simple and the instructions are well written. I bought a digital copy and love it so much, I am looking into buying a hard copy version of the book.
